Happy Birthday!

Today a client – who hasn't had a year sober since age ten - is celebrating his one year anniversary of living drug and alcohol free.

He tells of coming into TLC and being told that if he completed a year he wouldn't believe what his life would look like at the end.

Today he’s a manager at TLC, he’s a college student, and he’s evidence that anyone can get sober if they make a decision.

His history is one of walking prison yards for drug-related crimes, of inhabiting crack houses and the mean streets of the drug world in pursuit of his addictions.

Even though he’s been sober a year his path hasn't been easy. He had difficulty with paying for school, but persevered with the help of kindly college administrators.

He has the challenge of doing homework while juggling his responsibilities as a TLC manager.

However, he’s never run away and he’s an example of  what happens when a client perseveres in their recovery.

Happy birthday and many more...
